[ENG] Hello Steemians Tom @lemondae (www.steemit.com/@lemondae) aka @daelime (www.steemit.com/@daelime) made me notice that i haven't made a properly Intro post for our Project's account, so i decided to have a cup of green Tea, sit down and write this brief Introduction. We are a collective, means that we are no "ego-driven" band with a frontman, neither a solo artist featuring a live band. Once we were a band, but soon we started to feel uncomfortable in our role and at the same time (around 2012) we started to experiment with paintings and sculptures in the long hours in our rehearsal room. For us collective is giving more importance to the Idea and the Artworks refusing to join today's "ego-mania", and showing every people that put efforts in our project to the audience (far away from Band and Single artists artists that work with tons of people taking all the glory) The next year, while discussing on a train trip, we decided to make something different, something never heard, so we create "Art Is Not Dead", with the aim of including different artists and musicians and finally disrupting the boundaries between a Museum and a Live music Shows, putting every discipline in the same context. At first we started like dinosaurs, slow and always at risk of extinction, working on several artworks and recording about 100 Songs, and finally in 2018 we'll start to make some live shows here in Italy and around Europe, without any recording deal/sponsor but only fueled by passion and the aim of making something unique and new. Live shows will include different artworks and songs, and also different stages so that we can't play either in a small venue either in a big festival (hopefully). I think i've spent too much words for a brief Intro, so I'll make you know all AIND members, one by one with their role in AIND, show some love for them :) Big Hugs X

[ITA] Ciao Steemians Tom @lemondae (www.steemit.com/@lemondae) aka @daelime (www.steemit.com/@daelime) mi ha fatto notare che non ho mai fatto un post di Introduzione per l'account del nostro progetto, quindi ho preparato una tazza di The verde, mi son seduto e ho scritto questa breve introduzione (detesto la prolissità quando non è asservita alla comunicazione) Siamo un collettivo, ciò vuol dire non una band "Guidata dall'ego" con un frontman e neanche un Artista che si affianca ad una live band. Una volta eravamo una band, ma dopo un po' abbiamo iniziato a sentirci scomodi nel nostro ruolo e al contempo (intorno al 2012) abbiamo iniziato varie sperimentazioni con Quadri e Sculture nelle lunghe ore nella nostra sala prove. Per noi collettivo significa dare maggior importanza alle Idee e alle Opere d'Arte, rifiutando di aderire all'odierna "ego-mania" e mostrando al nostro pubblico tutte le persone che mettono le loro energie nel nostro progetto (concetto molto distante dalle band o artisti che lavorano con centinaia di persone prendendosi tutta la gloria) L'anno seguente abbiamo deciso, durante un viaggio in treno, di fondare qualcosa di mai visto prima, e creammo "Art Is Not Dead", con l'intento di includere nel progetto diversi Artisti e musicisti e distruggere finalmente i confini fra un Museo e un Live Show, unendo diverse discipline in un unico contesto. Abbiamo iniziato come dinosauri, lenti e costantemente a rischio estinzione, lavorando su qualche Opera e registrando un centinaio di canzoni e finalmente nel 2018 inizieremo a fare qualche shows qui in Italia e in Europa, senza nessun supporto discografico o sponsor, spinti solo dalla voglia di fare qualcosa di unico e nuovo. I live includeranno diverse Opere e canzoni, e finanche diversi palchi in modo da poter suonare sia in posti piccoli che in grandi festival (fiduciosamente). Penso di esser stato fin troppo prolisso per una breve introduzione, quindi vi farò conoscere tutti i membri di AIND, uno per uno con i loro ruoli in AIND, dimostrate loro un po' di amore. Abbraccioni X
